Mac OS X "SproutCore, profiled earlier this week, isn't the only big news spill out from the top secret WWDC conference due to Apple's embrace of open source sharing. Another future technology featured by the Mac maker last week was LLVM, the Low Level Virtual Machine compiler infrastructure project. Like SproutCore, LLVM is neither new nor secret, but both have been hiding from attention due to a thick layer of complexity that has obscured their future potential."

Snow Leopard is going to be the best OS X release ever. Apple is going to get rid of all carbon code, Quicktime is getting a Cocoa overhaul, Safari is getting a new js engine and pass acid 3, we may se ZFS as the standard file system. The system will be optimized for multi-core computing and enterprise deployment. Dashcode will most likely get an overhaul so it integrates with SproutCore, this will be Apples .Net. Xcode will support this new compiler technology. Everything will be faster!!! This release may not have much for consumers, but the devs are all having a nerdgasm.

It would seem plausible that this release would be cheaper than other releases, or hopefully free for existing leopard users, I believe apple has a great interest in getting this on every mac. I would gladly pay 120 dollars for this, my MacBook Pro would be up to 33% faster, cheap upgrade!
